<< CLarence, those four o'clocks may have come from Peru, but did you know we
have a wild one in the western US? It grows well here, and makes quite a
mound in late summer, covered with (puce? no, but close) magenta flowers. >>
Oh, Iris Mavan! Now you've done it. I had heard of the native four o'clock
but never seen it or realized its color. Now......
I thought that I would never see
A four o'clock of color puce
But now I'm happy as can be........
No, no! I won't do it. A "four o'clock puce" rhyme would surely result in a
great uprising to evict me from the list. I think I'm already in serious
trouble. Did you notice that four o'clock and hollyhock rhyme? What a shame
that "iris" rhymes with "virus." Clarence Mahan in VA
